Mission & Strategy

The common denominator for all of the Stockholm Academy of Dramatic Arts’ activities
is the generation of a narrative for an audience. All courses and programmes are based on the
significance of each student and each professional role for the portrayal as a whole.
This is where the story begins.

The Stockholm Academy of Dramatic Arts provides development and training in narrative and portrayal for stage, screen and media. Its activities include all key components of the artistic process, maintaining a cutting-edge position to provide inspiration and motivation for professional, artistic and educational development. The Academy’s assignment is to contribute to quality and renewal in stage, screen and media arts.
Since 2014 Stockholm Academy of Dramatic Arts is a part of Stockholm University of the Arts. Our vision is to create exceptional opportunities for societal development and knowledge of tomorrow through its unique composition of education and artistic research.
